Icinga (Monitoring Solution) Installation And Configuration On CentOS

Icinga is an enterprise grade open source monitoring system which keeps watch over networks and any conceivable network resource, notifies the user of errors and recoveries and generates performance data for reporting. Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor complex, large environments across dispersed locations.

I am going with the Icinga basic installation and this is similar to Nagios and this document can also be referred for Nagios installation, too. Lots of documents are available on the Internet and they will be installing with nagios user but for my setup I made use of the default user which is already present in the system (daemon) and also I will not be installing it on the default path instead I will be referring to /opt since I find it very convenient. The UI of Icinga is much better than Nagios.

I successfully got Icinga up and running, and I am very pleased to say that this tutorial is pretty much how I did it. When it came to nrpe, it required a slightly different configure command formation. I also skipped the sendmail section in favor of Postfix, because it was already configured. I also used more recent versions of the software used without penalty. Sometimes things can get crazy if you stray to newer versions, but not in this case at this time.

Hi, I got stuck at step 5. I guess it is because I am using the latest packages. Xampp 1.8.1 & Icinga 1.8.3. There muct be something I am missing that I can perform anything beyond step 5. Please help.

I successfully installed and configured icinga to "step11. Login to check whether Icinga website opens:" and i was unable to open ther website, it gives me the error below. Kindly assist as all other procedures i followed worked fine. Thank you
